SYCAMORE — Bond was set at $500,000 Monday for a DeKalb man charged Saturday with firing shots at people during an argument.

Wade, 25, of the 800 block of Edgebrook Drive, is charged with armed violence, aggravated discharge of a firearm, possession of a weapon by a felon, criminal damage to property, possession of ammunition without a firearm owner’s identification card and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Wade appeared in court Monday.

DeKalb police heard shots fired about 4:20 a.m. Saturday in the area of Edgebrook Drive and Normal Road. Police located no victims but found three cars with bullet holes.

Wade, who police said is a Kishwaukee College student, was arguing with people in a parking lot below his apartment building and began shooting at them from his balcony.

During a search of Wade’s apartment, police found marijuana and ammunition.

Wade, who will be represented by a private attorney, will next appear in court Sept. 17.
